The Fifth Estate (2013) - Quotes

Quotes about the film: [[factual; [accuracy] Assange has gone to great lengths to discredit the movie.  Considering that its portrayal of him is less than flattering, that's not surprising.  The story closely follows the source material but there are open questions about the ] ] of those books.  Condon uses a late scene in the movie to address Assange's criticisms by having the character, as played by Cumberbatch, complain about "the upcoming Wikileaks movie."  It's a curious moment that seems to have been incorporated as a concession.  It's the first time I can recall (at least in a serious-minded film) a character openly referring to the movie in which he is appearing.  Cinematic recursion.
